The Donahue's

In the beginning of June, I was lucky enough to be able to spend 2 weeks at one of my most favoritest places...The Royal Mayan in Cancun, Mexico.  We are blessed to go every year, and we see a lot of the same people.  There is one group whom I lovingly call "The Pergola Club."  I know when I walk through the doors of The Royal Mayan and see this group sitting in their normal spot under the pergola that my vacation is now official.

Shane and Diane (unofficial members of the aforementioned "Pergola Club") got to have their kids and grandchildren join them this year, and I was SO very thrilled when I was asked to photograph the whole family together.  I really had a blast that evening on the beach and I wish that all of them lived closer to me in Nashville so that I could hang out with them more often.  :-)

Hopefully I will get to see them all again next year in Mexico!

Jerry Ghionis Workshop

Hola de Buenos Aires, Argentina!!

It's been awhile, since I've posted on here, but I'm back at it.  I spent last week attending an absolutely phenomenal workshop with the very talented wedding photographer Jerry Ghionis. 

It was eye-opening, emotionally and physically exhausting, amazing, exhilarating, awe-inspiring, intimidating, humbling, and encouraging all at the same time.  I'm sure I could think of a lot more adjectives to describe the experience, but I'll stop with those.  ;-)

I thought I'd show you a few of the photos I took on day 2 of the workshop.  These photos were taken in the Gold Coast of Chicago, and the models are an amazing couple from Mexico City, Mexico.  Hopefully you'll notice a few things done a little differently in these images!!  ;-)
